Michelle J. , La Jolla, CA,

I called about a week ago in a panic when my truck didn’t start the first 3 times I turned the key. It started on the 4th, but I’m so not used to this — even though (to put this in perspective) my truck is almost 12 years old AND has over 210k miles on it. I called right away and he said he could fit me in. I drove up to San Marcos from SD to have him check it out. Turns out I did need a new starter — which he was able to find one that same afternoon, replace it and return my car to me. Especially since I’m so pregnant, it was even that more important to me to have a car that will start when I need it to and not leave me stranded waiting for a tow. I trust Platinum Auto & Smog Service to keep me (and baby to be) safe on the road!

The owner, Hoa Nguyen, is a joy to deal with. He is friendly, knowledgable and explains everything every step of the way. I wish all my automobile repair experiences were this good. The price was fair, the service great, the communication better! I recommend them highly for all your car repair needs, not just smog issues.

If I could give this business SIX STARS, I would!

I went in to get my car smogged after getting the catalytic converter replaced. When I mentioned it to Mr. Nguyen, he said the catalytic converter might not be reset yet. He checked. Sure enough, not ready yet. I drive, drive, drive…. Come back again. Mr. Nguyen totally remembers me. He checks again. Catalytic converter not ready yet. Ok. He says to take it back to the place that did it to see what happened.

I have a hybrid so after my other mechanic checked, I had to drive the car a certain way to help the cat reset. FINALLY, third time I go back to Mr. Nguyen. I PASSED!!
